Yeah, i looked up before i saw your comment and came to the same conclusion. It discredits Futurism quite a bit in my eyes.

Several places report 6.4 Billon Gallons per year by Google alone in 2023. Even if we assume this has icreased across all companies, the 163 Billion Gallons per year seems overblown by quite a bit.
I hate it when people lie to make a point that would have stood well on it's own without lying. Even an estimated 13 Billion Gallons per company and year (so assuming it doubled since 2023) is fuckton of water.
True, but these is a difference between a click baity title and ripping a quote out of context and pretending somebody holds the opposite possition as they have in reality.
